Diamond SeaGlaze screen removal

[jroyle]

Can the screens on the windows be removed for cleaning? I tried pushing pulling etc no luck...

There are springs at the top and bottom on mine. Gently lift up and the bottom can be pulled out.

In addition to Dave's suggestion center the screen in the middle of the window track, there seems to be a little more clearance room for removal their. I've got one that I can not get out, they are that tight but the rest of ours do come out.

Correcto. Lift up HARD, pull out at bottom. While you have them out, take them to Ace Hardware and get them rescreened with solar screen.

Thank you for the suggestions on the big windows. Any hints on how to get the small screens - in the galley and over the dining table- out ?

Should be the same way on the 27, but the 25 is different. Someone with a 25 should know.

The small windows / screens are different than the big ones.
They are two kinds of windows. The large windows slide to open and the small ones open up by pulling the two stops in at the same time, and slide up.

This is just an update for everyone. I contacted the manufacturer - Diamond /Seaglaze - on how to remove the screens and this is the response I received from them.
"the screens are not as easily removed and the springs are not installed. There are some rivets that hold the screen track in place on either side of the window. If you have a 1/8” drill bit, you can drill out the rivets and the screen track can be removed from one side. Then the screen can be removed. To re-install the screen track, new 1/8” rivets can be installed with the screen track back in position."
This does not sound like a very reasonable solution but the only one they had to offer. If anyone has any other ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

I removed our screens with no problem using the process already described. Move the screens to the center, lift, and pull away from the bottom once clear. We have an R25 and this works on all of our windows.
